You are quite correct, it is your machine and you can do want you like, but, in my opinion, you shouldn't post your methods on any forum in a way that sounds like it is the recommended way of doing things. The defaults were changed for a reason and that reason was security.Nothing most of the time.Excuse me, but what do you have against security ?
But it's my machine and I'll do as I like with it, will decide on what security it needs and doesn't.It's certainly not in some cases but I have decided it's perfectly fine in my circumstances.You have the user 'pi', even when Raspberry pi has acknowledged that using 'pi' as a username isn't really a good idea.Quite simply because I wanted another account which could be logged into. A user account which no one can login to would be useless to me. Using "guest" is what I prefer to use.Why do have a user called 'guest' ? What is wrong with the user 'nobody' ? A user that doesn't have a home directory and isn't allowed to login.Because it was the quickest and easiest solution to overcoming an issue which the change in Bookworm created. I simply returned it to how things were pre-Bookworm and don't consider it an increased security risk in my deployment.Why change the permissions on the users home directories to allow everyone in with read permissions ?
